Militia Wants US To Surrender The Sanctuary To The State Or Them/Give Up All Control.

If you listen carefully only full US surrender will end this dispute. And I am sure the militia will not stop there. They and others like them want ALL the government land surrendered to the states to sell of and auction off as they please to private interests. Full use to them mean full exploitation to whatever economic interests can buy them.

What they don't understand is that these lands could be sold off even to interests like the Chinese, the Saudis or any other foreign interest that can buy them. So eventually the people do not own them actually. All you have to do is look at what John McCain did in Arizona recently. That means Congress could even sell US land to anyone they desire. As long as the bribe is big enough.

They are useless fools

the birds themselves will start, uh, tweeting, and ask that "these seditionists assholes be removed from our home in the wilderness."

Tourism is their semi-annual moneymaker, spring and fall during the migrations.

If these assholes don't leave in time, the locals will go broke.

The oil companies, of course.

These are simply test runs.

The GOP believes that everything must be in private hands. That includes federal land and ALL of our water and other infrastructure. This agenda was part of the Reagan revolution. They want to SELL IT ALL. Even to someone like China, India or the Saudis.

The obvious first claim to that land is by the Paiutes, of which a tiny community remain right in the area, a handful of miles outside Burns. Can't you just hear these teahadist clowns shrieking to high heaven about that?

Before the Koch brothers reward them for doing their bidding to be free to drill on those lands.

And that is everything this public land thigh is about. Sad tools have no clue.
